To the Trustees of the Universalist Pub
fishing House:

During the year Mr.. George Smith of
Boston and Mr.. Daniel Russell of Lynn
have deceased, having in their wills man.
ifested their interest in this department
of the Church by liberal requests which
will be available upon the settlement of
their estates.
We recommend that the legacy Of
5000 when received from the estate Of
George Smith be set apart and the in
come therefrom be applied to the free
rfh nfI nf be les
and that the legacy to be received from
the Estate of Daniel Russell be set apart
as Publication Fund, the income to be
appropriated In aid of UNCONVENTIONAL
publications.
For details of the work of the House
we commend your attention to the report
of the General Agent herewith presented.
We cheerfully and heartily bear testi-
mony to the interest which Mr.. Caverly
has always shown in the objects sought
to be attained by the House and to the
| fidelity with which he has performed his
arduous, and sometimes perplexing du-
ties. We are also happy to testify to the
faithfulness and efficiency of his assis-
tants.
| The general business of the House has
never been in more satisfactory condi-
ton and we feel sure that we express the
opinion of all the Trustees when we say
that the Leader and The UNIvERsALIsT
were never better conducted than at
present and that they as we'll as our other
periodicals, compare favorably in abil-
ity and interest with similar publications
under the auspices of other denomina-
tions.
1t is now twenty-five years since the
organization of the House, and it is a
matter of congratulation to the trustees
and the denomination that it has SO we'll
accomplished the objects for which it
was organized and that it now rests upon
so secure financial basis, thus giving
promise of it's ability TO extend its work
and usefulness.
1t seems desirable that the twenty
fifth anniversary be suitably recognized,
] and as the business of the corporation
was not begun until October, 1862, it
would seem fitting that such recognition
should be made sometime during next
autumn.
We, therefore, recommend that public
meeting be held in October or November
to celebrate the event under the super
vision of committee to consider the
subject already appointed by the Direc-
tors.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of
the Directors.
